GOD IN PLAIN ENGLISH: Salt & Gold Collection

Stop Pretending: use your story, be authentic,mindset on truth,chosen for purpose, intentional living

Jess is a proud Kiwi who currently lives between Australia and the USA. Salt + Gold was established in 2020 and created the viral ©️The Footwashing Series. Calling herself a missionary more than an artist, Jess once had to stop a nun getting eaten by a crocodile in rural Australia. She is currently studying ministry at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in California and calls the Catholic Church home. http://www.saltandgoldstore.com/ @saltandgoldcollection To say I am giddy about this conversation is an understatement. Jess is a true treasure, but guess what, SO ARE YOU! Thank you for listening today. Showing up means you are ready for the MORE in your life. What an exciting adventure. What may have started as a fashion business for Barbies is now a collection of words and art primarily through Instagram, serving Jesus and communicating Him in a way that makes him easy to understand. Simple pics and words to help people meet Jesus.

The art is overflow of a personal moment with God. Most, if not all, is chastisement from the Lord to me. We think we've seen every side of him or know him perfectly or know the perimeters are that he can be in..every time I think I've got him sorted he says hey we haven’t talked about this. Seasons of understanding where the Lord is kind and walks with me on this journey of faith..but I’m not going to get to this perfect until I’m in heaven so every single day I've got things to learn.

The message is put out to a large space to reach many but I'm so certain that Jesus is just as invested into humanity. It’s personal. Jesus is a part of my life every single moment of every single day.

Jess shares how she came to meet Jesus, how it changed her fears, and how she merges loving Jesus and being Catholic.

Your life grows when we give it to Jesus! I found so much freedom and joy and adventure.

A big milestone is learning my identity- who he has made me to be. Choices that hurt me and others was from me trying to grasp at if I was loved, whats my worth and purpose..first and foremost I am beloved of God. I am his kid.

Grasping came to an end. You have made me on purpose. I have dignity and am filled with the Holy Spirit.

We discuss how she decided who to draw sitting on the stool, having their feet washed by Jesus. It stirs the soul and sometimes makes people angry!

But we talk about how walking from a genuine place of intimacy with God allows boldness despite controversy, judgement, being misunderstood. Ultimately, Jess feels if she chose her comfort over obedience to God, someone would miss out on meeting Jesus for themselves.

It is haunting until we know who Christ is in us.

BUSTA MOVE!

How does God speak to you? How do you worship Him as you live out your life daily? Do you feel pressure to make pretty and shiny things or is your life authentic and flowing from time with God?
